How was the rear body skinned & how difficult is it to re-skin an ambulance body? This may be a worthwhile project.........now, where do I find a mid wheelbase Chev blitz!

G'day Robert,
Seems you have answered your own question. A set of 16" wheels and that
C60S will do for the ambulance body you already have.
Cold up there?

According to a manual carried by Grant..... there are various patterns of T case, axles, and E brake style which reflect some ongoing developments during the manufacturing of the cab 11/12.

The publication was just referred to on another posting on ID of transfer case.... can't seem to find my book in the computer room and it must be in the barn..... this is a time I could use both a CD loaded in my computer and a hard copy in the barn....

If I remember.... some early models had cable E brakes on the rear axle while later models had the T case fittings...... then of course things get really mixed up when parts were swapped either during or after military service.

The book in question has clear sketches and show differences in early to late production models.... will check the barn over the weekend and ask Grant...

Thanks for the replies.
YES Rick, it is very cold up here - several snowfalls this week & very wet.
As for getting my hands on that C60S ......very doubtful. The owner is a bit of a hoarder with intentions of doing it up one day. We have all seen this before - by the time the owner gets around to "doing the old girl up" it has deteriorated so badly the next best option is to get it crushed.
I have started on the restoration of my IP carrier but getting information on some of the missing details is becoming difficult. VR carrier 2216 is now in the shed.

Thanks
Robert.
